It also comes with a USB 2.0 adapter that can be upgraded to USB 3.0 or Firewire 800, depending on your preference (and cash reserves). Priced at $250, this record-busting storage hub is available to buy today direct from Seagate.
      Nice price - unless you're one of the several billion people who doesn't live in North America.

      I'm becoming less and less enthused with storing so much data on one disk. Maybe it's becoming jaded from seeing so many 2TB disks fail in the last year at work - but I just don't trust it any more.

      RAID FTW.
